This makes 2018 the fourth most active wildfire season on record for British Columbia, according to the British Columbia Wildfire Service.

According to Anderson: "High fire danger likely to linger through early fall across much of western Canada with smoke continuing to be an issue, especially from southern British Columbia through the southern Prairies."

Many storms moving into western Canada will be directed to the northern half of British Columbia and the southwestern part of the Yukon Territory, Anderson said, promoting dry conditions where a majority of the fires have been burning.

Similar to areas farther east, the warm and dry conditions will also impact the region's foliage, delaying the peak season across the Canadian Rockies.
